So, I went on a first date today for ice cream. Sounds romantic right? Wrong. It was weird and awkward.
It was with a guy from work who is so funny and flirty and full of banter on a usual day, but just did not live up to expectations.
He also turned out to be a little too nice. And not as much fun outside of work.
Just the phrase "Day Date" doesn't bode well if it is the first date.
And here are the following reasons:
1. There is no romantic or dim lighting to ensure you both look beautiful
2. No alcohol involved to loosen minds or limbs
3. Conversation can lull and one, or both, parties feel the need to talk. This annoys me.
4. There's not really any excuse to leave early, ie. No last train or bus to catch
5. You gradually change your mind about your date and find yourself dropping big hints as to the level of your future relationship
6. You have to find numerous things to do as one is quite simply not enough, apparently chatting in the sunshine is not enough
7. Your date may think it is OK to wear shorts. It.is.never.OK.to.wear.shorts.on.a.first.date.EVER.
8. You may find that your date isn't as open to different experiences, ie. a Chinese bakery, as they have made out to be
9. Your date may end with you fancying this person less than when you first met them. Oh dear.
10. You find the you pick out all the bad things straight away, Oh dear indeed.
And that is all for now...any more input on why we don't do Day Dates would be well received.
Reminder to self. be wary of first dates that happen during the day. Not a great start.
